The "Boom Goes The Dynamite" Guy Gets A Job In Texas

He became an Internet phenomenon -- and not the good kind -- providing achingly uncomfortable moments of YouTube viewing and the immortal phrase "Boom goes the dynamite."

Now he has a job. In Texas.

Brian Collins was a Ball State freshman when he was tapped as a fill-in sports host on the student-run channel one night three years ago. The video of his excruciating performance -- verbal stumbles, copy that didn't match up with the video, the awful phrase about boom and dynamite -- quickly went viral.

Anyone with half an ounce of compassion felt for the kid; others just mocked him endlessly.

"Boom goes the dynamite" became a catch phrase nationwide.

Now Collins is out of school and has a job, as a sports reporter, in Waco.

His biography doesn't mention the incident, maybe understandably, but in the past he's been able to talk about it with some humor.
